  • LETTER: Congratulations to Eric Shelburne

    People of Nelson County’s 5th District, I want to congratulate Eric Shelburne on his victory.  I wish him nothing but the best representing our district.

    To all of those who knocked on doors, put out signs, and supported me along the way, I say thank you. To the voters who put their faith in me to be their magistrate, I am eternally grateful.  Most of all, I want to thank my wife, Amanda, and my two kids, Jack and Madelyn, for their love and support throughout the campaign.

  • LETTER: Nelson GOP chair responds to editorial

    Your recent editorial regarding local Republican candidates was void of fact and took no serious statistical or historical data into consideration.

    Criticizing candidates well over a week past an election is not only in poor taste, it is demeaning to the candidates, their families, their voters, and the political process as a whole.

    Why I am voting Jeanette Hall Sidebottom for Nelson County clerk

    This year I am not voting party, I am voting a person, and her name is Jeanette Hall Sidebottom, and she is running for Nelson County Clerk. It’s ironic to me that this has come full circle because the Nelson County Clerk’s Office is where we first met and our friendship ensued. This bubbly servant greeted me with this gigantic smile and said, “Hi! How can I help you today?”

  • LETTERS: Reader endorsements of 2018 candidates

    DeWeese is pro-worker, pro-education

    As Election Day is upon us, I can’t seem to convey this message enough. So many candidates use the phrase “working people” or “working families” to relate to voters.  In Nelson County, we are actually lucky enough to vote for a candidate that already stands for working people and working families, full-time.

    With all of the excitement about the Bourbon industry and its appeal to the tourist business and local economy, we sometimes forget about the older attractions that over the years have been the bulwark of the tourist trade.

  • LETTER: DeWeese has listening skills needed in a lawmaker

    I taught for 40 years and one lesson I hope my students learned is to respect everyone. I had a beautiful example of someone doing this when watching busy candidate James DeWeese interact with several local children. He was truly listening and they knew it.

    We need listeners in Frankfort.
